Emtek 8103 Victoria 7-3/4" Non-Keyed Sideplate Lockset, Passage - Brass Tubular

Handing is a required selection, right hand or left hand, on the 8103. If you are picking a lever, that handing determines which way the lever sweeps, so getting it wrong means a lever pointing the wrong direction on the door. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is a right hand door.

No. The 8103 is a passage set, non-keyed with no privacy turn, so it latches the door closed and nothing more. Use it on hallways, closets, and pantry doors. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy function instead, and for an exterior door you need a keyed set.

The Emtek 8103 Victoria is a non-keyed passage set, so the levers or knobs always retract the latch and the door never locks. For an opening that needs a key, the Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass, keyed from the outside. It is the equivalent sideplate-style trim with a locking function the 8103 does not carry - use it on entry doors and keep the 8103 for closets, halls, and pantries.

The Emtek 8103 Victoria has no cylinder at all - it is a non-keyed passage set. Where the opening has to be keyed from inside as well as outside, such as a glass-front or alley door, the Omnia D12036AC is a double cylinder deadbolt lever lockset in solid brass with a sideplate design. Double cylinder means a key is required from both faces, so check your local egress code for the door type before specifying it.

Yes. The 8103 sideplate takes any Emtek brass knob or lever style as the inside trim, and there are more than 80 to pick from, including the Victoria Knob (V), Round Knob (ROU), Egg Knob (E), and crystal options like the Windsor (WS) and Bristol (BL), plus levers such as the Cortina (C), Milano (M), and Rope (RL). Handing only matters for the lever choices in terms of sweep direction, but it is a required selection either way.

The 8103 has no keyed or deadbolt function at all. If the requirement is a sideplate set that locks, Omnia builds one in the same solid brass sideplate format: the D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset and the D12036AC is the double cylinder version, keyed both sides. Omnia also does a double dummy, the D12036PD, with 5-1/2 inch center to center plates for a non-functioning pull. Those are a different brand and a different trim look, so they will not match Emtek Victoria trim on adjacent doors.

Usually, and that is the main reason people move to a sideplate. The plate runs 7-3/4 inches and sits over the door face rather than tight around the bore, so cosmetic damage or a scarred ring around an old 2-1/8 inch cross bore ends up hidden. It uses that same 2-1/8 inch bore, so no new boring is needed as long as your backset is 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.

Only if the leaf never has to latch. The Emtek 8103 Victoria is a tubular passage set sold complete with knob or lever, latch, and strike plate, so it operates a live latch through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Omnia D12036PD is a double dummy deadbolt lever lockset with plates on a 5-1/2 inch center to center - a double dummy is surface-applied trim that does not retract anything. On a fixed inactive leaf or a pair of closet doors held by ball catches, the dummy is the correct part; on any door that has to stay closed on its own, it is not a substitute for the 8103.

Run the Emtek 8103 Victoria on the non-locking openings and an Omnia D12036 sideplate deadbolt lever lockset on the ones that lock: the D12036A is single cylinder, the D12036AC is double cylinder, and the D12036PD is a double dummy for fixed leaves. All three Omnia sets are solid brass, and the Emtek 8103 is brass as well, so the two families give you one long sideplate look across an entry, a hall, and a closet without changing material.

Not without checking the door prep. The Emtek 8103 Victoria works off one standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Omnia D12036A is a single cylinder deadbolt lever lockset, so it carries a deadbolt in addition to the lever and its plate covers a different bore layout. Treat it as a function change rather than a swap into the existing holes, and verify the prep against the door before ordering.

Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). If you are matching other openings in the house, note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish that will patina over time while the Lifetime Polished Brass is coated to hold its shine.
